As we all know, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has entered a stage of tending to be protracted, and the most critical factor is the involvement of the United States and the West, especially the United States. Although some believe that the United States is trying to weaken Russia's military power, the Russian side has given a surprising statement, and this is revealed by US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin himself!
Making war a formal business also seems to be a manifestation of "American identity." Recently, Austin appeared to slip through the cracks in his speech at the Reagan Defense Forum, accidentally revealing the true motives of the United States in supporting Ukraine.
Austin said the U.S. military has launched "the most ambitious defense industrial base modernization effort in nearly 40 years." He added that "$50 billion will be put into the U.S. defense industrial base in the military's supplementary budget request." This will create tens of thousands of jobs in U.S. states. ”
According to the news, the United States** released a map of the distribution of "beneficiary states of military aid to Ukraine" to members of Congress for the first time at the end of November, detailing how about $27 billion in military aid to Ukraine will be converted into military industrial investment in dozens of states in the United States. And before that, on October 20, Biden submitted a $106 billion appropriation request to Congress for military aid to Ukraine and Israel. Biden stressed that providing military aid to Ukraine is tantamount to providing jobs to Americans.
Although it is an indisputable fact that military aid to support Ukraine can bring jobs. But is it possible to create jobs only by increasing investment in the military industry?I am afraid that even the Americans themselves cannot fully believe in this logic. Using this as a marketing ploy to win grants is both a reflection of the indifference and arrogance of extreme egoism, as well as a full exposure of US ambitions outside of Ukraine and Israel.
Dmitry Medvedev, chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, bluntly revealed the truth, breaking the pretense of previous American politicians. According to a report by Russia Today TV, Medvedev sarcastically said on social ** that Austin leaked a "military secret" that the United States did not intervene in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict to help Ukraine, nor did it so-called "fight for democracy", let alone "weaken Russia's defense capability", but to increase military production and employment.
In fact, this has long been an open "secret". The human war is a "generator" "tailor-made" for the aesthetic complex, which realizes the maximum use of resources. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although the United States has allocated a huge amount of money with the "flag" of supporting Ukraine, what Ukraine has received is only those "old things that are about to retire", which are nothing more than Capitol Hill appropriations and Capitol Hill flowers. The United States cleared its old stockpiles, Ukraine got American-style ** to support the war, and Congress allocated funds to produce a new generation of advanced defense products, realizing the expansion and upgrading of armaments. This is the effect of killing three birds with one stone. So it goes without saying what progress will be made in the upgrading of the military industry and the launch of the military machine.
At the same time, the United States has not only vigorously promoted the modernization of the arms industry, but has also tried to label China as a "looming threat" both openly and covertly. The US "Politico" news network quoted a draft document of the US Department of Defense as having yet to be released, saying that "it is difficult for the United States to keep up with China's pace" and that "the development of China's defense industry not only greatly exceeds the production capacity of the United States, but also exceeds the sum of its major European and Asian allies."
In the face of the usual rhetorical tricks of the United States in an attempt to deflect the stigma and hype of contradictions, we can neither take it lightly nor worry too much. As Wu Qian, spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of National Defense, said, the squadron will never sit idly by and watch the country's sovereignty, security and development interests suffer. We will never allow anyone or force to infringe upon China.
Through Austin's remarks, we can see clearly the real purpose of the United States' intervention in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, that is, for the sake of the military industry and jobs. This use of military action to promote the development of the domestic military industry not only exposes the self-interest of the United States, but also brings greater risks and uncertainties to the region outside of Ukraine and Israel. In the face of the threat from the United States and China's predicament, we must remain vigilant, stick to the core interests of our country, and defend our sovereignty and security. Only in this way can we meet the challenges of the future and achieve more brilliant achievements.
